All that said, we have a lot of low time guys right now. We need a few higher time guys in the pipeline to avoid hiring street captains. If you have 800 plus and 50 or 60 or so, I'd apply, especially if it's like 1100/50. You might be surprised.
J.E.B used to like guys with PT-6 time. That was before the Saab though. My sim partner had only 40 hours multi, I forget his total time, but had a lot of Caravan time. Took a little extra V1s, but made it though. Last I knew "Bubba" was a Captain there. But I think he left.
